    RO Systems

    Can somebody clarify my earlier question of using a 27 gallon stainless vessel as a holding tank and any concerns about turning the RO unit off when not in use. Thanks..

    RO Systems

    I plan on doing somthing like the OP and am also interested in the feedback. One question I have is can you turn on your RO system a day or so before brewing and then turn it off if you don't plan on brewing for a month or so with out risk of drying out any filters or membrane and causing...

    Ventilation

    I have a 600cfm range hood that has a 6" duct out. I know this has probably been asked before but could I run this outside through the 4" dryer vent with out much worry for effective moisture ventilation. I like the OP would not prefer to keep cutting holes in my basement walls if not necessary...

    Planning out my automated 10G electric brewery

    ChuckO, I was looking at your brewery layout and wondered do you do any recirculation/mixing in your HLT to avoid stratification or does just running it through the RIMs keep the temperature precision? Also when filling the BK during sparge does the run off go through the CFC on the way to the...

    Looking for input on maintaining temp settings in current HERMs system

    I would plan on running a recirculation pump to thoroughly mix for stratification. I was trying to get a feel from those with more experience that if I heated the water in the HLT with both the 5500w and 1800w obvioulsly it will come up to temp quicker but the potential variable temps from the...

    Looking for input on maintaining temp settings in current HERMs system

    Thought I might try this again. What I would really like to know is do you think the immersion 1800w PID control heating element will keep the water in the HLT within set temperature once the water is heated using both elements. I know I can't heat the entire HLT with 1800w but will it maintain...

    Looking for input on maintaining temp settings in current HERMs system

    A little back ground…about a year ago I decided to take the leap into an electric Herms system. At that time I ran across a High Gravity EBC II controller (for those who don’t know the temperature settings is controlled by plugging into a Ranco or Johnson type controller and for boiling it uses...

    BYO Double Pipe Wort Chiller

    How much wort do you have left in the chiller with it laying flat like that. Is there a way you can tilt it to recover the last bit of wort?

    Polarware 15 gallon Mash Tun Help Please!

    Man...you guys are quick with the replies! GrogNerd, nice call on the link from NB. Also LandoLincoln the couplings are welded in but I just dont know if there are threads on the inside of the pot. I'll have to verify. Thanks again for the input.

    Polarware 15 gallon Mash Tun Help Please!

    I recently ran across a Polarware 15 gallon pot with a false bottom for sale locally. I noticed that the false bottom sits about 2’’ off the bottom of the pot which would create some significant dead space. I also noticed that there is no diptube (the FB sits above the bottom outlet) which means...

    What do you use for RO water storage?

    Thanksfor the links. I'll take a look at these. The tank I have is 18 guage 316 stainless. Should I start to be concerned about any leaching?

    What do you use for RO water storage?

    I have an RO unit but I will not be using it with a bladder tank. I was thinking I would just let the purified water run into the holding tank and then let the float valve stop the water flow. What is the "auto-off" that you are reffering to?

    What do you use for RO water storage?

    Can anybody recommend an Ro Float valve for this purpose. I have a 50 gallon stainless tank with a bottom coupling that I thought i might use as a holding tank. I heard about the aquarium uses but I can't visualize how to make it work as a holding tank. thanks
